We were here when our kids were young and came back again this fall, 20 plus years later. Spent the afternoon wandering and it was not nearly enough time. Electra Webb loved to collect. The NY apartment and the artworks are unbelievable with Cassatt, Degas,...More

During a winter visit just 5 or 39 buildings on 45 acres were open. We toured the grounds and passed historic structures. It made us vow to return in season to get the full sense of the museum's diverse and quirky collection of some 150,000...More

A great museum with some very interesting collections. Imagine being able to walk around a huge ferry boat! Loved the impressionist art in the Havermeyer home and even enjoyed seeing an exhibit on fowl decoys!

I really love the old buildings here and the history behind them, and particularly the...More

We had no trouble finding this driving down from Montreal and we arrived shortly after they opened. The day goes by too quickly so plan your time at each site. We initially took the tram around the grounds to get an overview and then we...More

We were there in October and the entire museum was open. This is a museum with many buildings (large barns, a passenger boat once used on the lake, replica stores and houses based on actual buildings/blue prints, etc. That means visitors have to walk from building to building. I don't know if the museum has a set closing date or if they base closures on weather; however, I believe the late fall/winter closure is based entirely on winter weather.

It's a sprawling place, so you may be frustrated by how much time you'll miss with only two hours,however it's one of the best open air museums that I've been to and a number of the buildings closest to the... More

They have a shuttle, a large covered vehicle that runs a regular circuit around the property so you can get to each of the areas without excessive walking. I would bring a water bottle if it is warm. You can stay at any of the exhibits as long as you want and take some time to rest and then take the shuttle to the next area. Billb
